Acquisition of EEG Seizure during ECT
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Acquisition is a process of obtaining the data from a source. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in which electrical current is used to induce seizures, is an effective treatment in psychiatry. The procedure of ECT essentially involves application of a low frequency electrical stimulus across two electrodes applied over the scalp to induce a generalized seizure for therapeutic purposes. Seizure is the first sign of neurological disease or dysfunction in the newborn. An Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a commonly used non-invasive technique for studying brain activities. EEG is used to study the relationship between the changes in electric potentials in different area of cortex and sub cortical structures
